This Research Handbook presents thirty-three original contributions from leading experts around the globe on all aspects of legal argumentation. Each chapter combines theoretical and practical perspectives to introduce and develop its topic.

The volume explores the connections between legal argumentation, general jurisprudence, and argumentation theory. The result: the most detailed, comprehensive, and international overview of the field to date. The Research Handbook is organised into five parts. The first examines the core elements of legal argumentation. The second analyses many types of argument commonly used in law. The third situates legal argumentation within broader argumentation theory. The fourth examines its links with general jurisprudence. The fifth and final part takes a more holistic approach to what is involved in judging well.

This Research Handbook will interest not only students and scholars of legal argumentation, legal philosophers, and argumentation theorists, but also lawyers, judges, and other practitioners seeking to better understand their art.
